If I detect my symptoms of lung cancer early, can I possibly cure my lung cancer?
Early detection in any form of cancer can potentially mean you can save/ prolong your life. It is always important to find out early but then again how early is early. This also is a big factor. When dealing with lung cancers the fact that you diagnose it early is good but as to "curing/ treatment" it all depends on the type of lung cancer. There are various types of lung cancer and the treatment can be very different. Prevention is better then cure. Say no to smoking!

Can a person have lung cancer and not have a tumor present on a ct scan?
It is possible to have early-stage lung cancer without a tumour showing up on a CT scan. In such cases, the only way of telling is a blood test, which would show a higher than normal level of white blood cells (lymphocytes). However, this would only be at a VERY early stage- with lung cancer, tumours appear fairly early, so the condition would be in it's infancy and therefore more amenable to chemotherapy than later on. If you suspect you have early-stage lung cancer, go and see your doctor and ask for a referral to a specialist.
What is the leading cause of caner-related deaths?
Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally. It is often diagnosed at advanced stages, which makes it challenging to treat effectively. Early detection and lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking can help reduce the risk of developing lung cancer.
Can Lung Cancer be cured?
This is a difficult question because the solution is often yes or no depending upon how you define cure because hope is so important within the setting of cancer.Long-term survival with lung cancer is usually possible, especially when the disease is caught within the early stages, or if an advanced lung cancer responds to targeted therapies or immunotherapy. Some people survive a few years even with stage 4 lung cancer. Even if lung cancer isn't curable, it's nearly always treatable. And it isn't just that advanced lung cancer is curable. The new treatment options often have a few side effects. There's always an opportunity (in some cases this is often very small) that lung cancer can recur, even a few years after it's originally found. The longer someone lives without evidence of cancer (no evidence of cancer is usually simply called NED). When lung cancer is not spread to the lymph nodes and blood vessels in the early stage that can be cured.
